DEAR DODIE

By Valerie Grove

Synopsis

From an Edwardian childhood in Manchester, Dodie Smith became one of the most successful female dramatists of her generation with her play 'Dear Octopus' in 1938, and then her children's book 'The 101 Dalmations' made her a household name when Disney filmed it. This biography conjures up not only England in the 20s and 30s, and a Golden Age of British theatre, but also the life of an ambitious, talented, yet vulnerable woman.
